The classic children’s story “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” is coming to the stage at St. Croix Country Day School. Roald Dahl’s timeless story of the world-famous candy man and his quest to find an heir comes to life in this stage adaptation of the book, which features the songs from the original family film “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.” There are additional, entertaining new songs by the creators of the original movie score, Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley, with adaptations for the stage made by Timothy McDonald.
Country Day School’s production is fast-paced, perfect for children, and has a cast of over 40 students from the second grade to twelfth grade. There will also be a special Willy Wonka Golden Ticket raffle—every fourth chocolate bar will have a Golden Ticket with a fabulous prize.
